Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: An examiner of the Licensing Authority as well as a policeman carrying a traffic examiner certificate.
Only people trained and authorised to judge a vehicle's roadworthiness may summon it for a technical examination: an examiner of the Licensing Authority, or a policeman carrying a traffic examiner certificate. An ordinary policeman with only a police certificate, a municipal inspector, a garage manager or a Standards Institute official has no such power. The summons ensures that a vehicle suspected of being faulty is checked and found fit for the road.
